'You are not Curtly Ambrose': Ian Healy sledges West Indies quick ahead of Australia Tests

Ian Healy may have long retired from Test cricket, but the former wicketkeeper has come up with another brutal sledge ahead of Australia’s first Test against West Indies starting Wednesday in Barbados.

- GNS News Agency, July 1

After West Indies quick Shamar Joseph sent out a warning note to young Australian opener Sam Konstas, Healy has stepped in to say, “You are not Curtly Ambrose champ.”In the absence of Steve Smith and Marnus Labuschagne, Australia have given call ups to Konstas and Josh Inglis. Konstas, who made an impressive debut against India Down Under, is set to start the first Test giving himself a good chance to prove his credentials ahead of the Ashes later this year.And Joseph, who famously bowled West Indies to a thrilling over Australia at the Gabba in 2024, sent a message to Konstas saying, “just look out, that’s all.”
